June is Alzheimer Awareness month and in the South Central Region it's memory walk time.
A memory walk got under way in Altona yesterday and raised over $10,000, and other communities in the Pembina Valley will follow up with similar events.
Regional Coordinator for the Alzheimer Society, Marge Warkentine, says there's two important reasons for holding these annual walks.



The organization's other large annual fundraiser is the annual coffee break, which is held in September
